(a) Duty to notify OPC counsel
of discipline. Upon being publicly disciplined by another court, another
jurisdiction, or a regulatory body having disciplinary jurisdiction, a lawyer
admitted to practice in Utah shall within 30 days inform the OPC of the
discipline. Upon notification from any source that a lawyer within the
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court has been publicly disciplined by another
court, another jurisdiction, or a regulatory body having disciplinary jurisdiction,
OPC counsel shall obtain a certified copy of the disciplinary order.

(b) Notice served upon lawyer.
Upon receipt of a certified copy of an order demonstrating that a lawyer
admitted to practice in Utah has been publicly disciplined by another court,
another jurisdiction, or a regulatory body having disciplinary jurisdiction,
OPC counsel shall issue a notice directed to the lawyer containing:

(b)(1) a copy of the order from
the other court, jurisdiction or regulatory body; and

(b)(2) a notice giving the
lawyer the right to inform OPC counsel, within 30 days from service of the
notice, of any claim by the lawyer predicated upon the grounds set forth in
paragraph (d), that the imposition of the equivalent discipline in Utah would
be unwarranted, and stating the reasons for that claim.

(c) Effect of stay of
discipline in other jurisdiction. If the discipline imposed in the other court,
jurisdiction or regulatory body has been stayed, any reciprocal discipline
imposed in Utah shall be deferred until the stay expires.

(d) Discipline to be imposed.
Upon the expiration of 30 days from service of the notice pursuant to paragraph
(b), the district court shall take such action as may be appropriate to cause
the equivalent discipline to be imposed in this jurisdiction, unless it clearly
appears upon the face of the record from which the discipline is predicated
that:

(d)(1) the procedure was so
lacking in notice or opportunity to be heard as to constitute a deprivation of
due process;

(d)(2) the imposition of
equivalent discipline would result in grave injustice; or

(d)(3) the misconduct
established warrants substantially different discipline in Utah or is not
misconduct in this jurisdiction.

If the district
court determines that any of these elements exist, it shall enter such other
order as it deems appropriate. The burden is on the respondent to demonstrate
that the imposition of equivalent discipline is not appropriate.

(e) Conclusiveness of
adjudication in other jurisdictions. Except as provided in paragraphs (c) and
(d) above, a final adjudication of the other court, jurisdiction or regulatory
body that a respondent has been guilty of misconduct shall establish
conclusively the misconduct for purposes of a disciplinary proceeding in Utah.
